Julie King, director of independent living at The Christian
Village, puts the finishing touches on the Almost Home
apartment available for individuals needing a temporary
place to stay before going home from the hospital or nursing
home.

[February 17, 2014]After a hospital or nursing home
stay, some people are unable to return home because they can't
handle housekeeping and meal preparation. To help these individuals
while they're regaining their strength, The Christian Village has
established an "Almost Home" apartment that can be rented by the
week.

Located in the senior apartment building at The Christian Village,
the Almost Home apartment is fully furnished, with three meals a day
available in the dining room.

The Lifeline medical alert system also is available, as is
Medicare Part B therapy ordered by a doctor.

"If you have reservations about going home from the nursing home
or hospital, or you need a temporary place to stay while family is
away, let us be your short-term haven," suggests Julie King,
director of independent living.

"We have daily activities and a caring staff available to you,"
she added.
